A parameter is a value that was passed to the actual script. All parameters are accessible over the array _this.


Example:

[5, "text"] execVM "script.sqf"


script.sqf

params ["_number","_string"];

_number and _string are considered the parameters of the script, and are filled with the values that were provided in the array. _number now contains the value 5, while _string now contains the value string.
